Our Premium Indigo-Dyed #11.000 Cotton Aikido Hakama is not an ordinary Hakama available from other manufacturers. It is made with only the best cotton yarn available, using methods that have been passed down through Japan's long history of craftsmanship.

The fabric is not dyed after the construction, as in the norm today, rather it is crafted via the traditional multi-step process that has made Japan's indigo dye famous throughout the world. First the cotton yarn itself is soaked in the container filled with the indigo dye liquid till the liquid is fully absorbed. Then the yarn is wrung and set to dry under the sun. This process of dyeing and oxidizing is repeated over and over again until the yarn takes on the proper shade of color as determined by the master craftsman, Keishi Takemura, the nationally recognized Master of Cultural Arts.

Traditionally dyed Hakama has the added benefit of conforming to your personality. The more you wear it - the more unique they will become - the more it will be come a part of you. This Hakama also comes with a though and flexible special rubber Koshiita insert. The Hakama has Seven lines of stitching and features the pleats that have been specifically well-ironed then stitched to maintain their shape despite of your dynamic moves and eventually create the outstanding overall appearance on your Aikido performances through the years.

(Please note that the pleats are on the inside of the Hakama).

Height recommendations are only for reference.To properly determine your Hakama size, measure between the top hip bone and the ankle bone in standing position. This length is approximately equivalent to the length between the bottom of the rear obi and the rear hem.Refer then to the Hakama Length below.

*Due to being hand-made products, the actual length might differ slightly from the size chart.**Please note that products made with 100% cotton tends to shrink 2-3cm after washing.***Our Hakama are made with a maximum waist size of 95cm in mind, if your waist is larger than 95cm, your Hakama may need to be custom-made, please contact us for more information.

High quality, but even though I bought size 29 as per table, once it is washed and dried the hakama shrinked about 2 inches .

This Matsu Hakama is top of the line! Love it!The quality and craftsmanship of this Hakama are great! I own four hakama and this is definetly the best. It feels and flows great. It wears or hangs on you very well. This hakama will make you look very sharp specially if worn with Horai or Yomogi Gi! Great job Tozando! Not only you offer the best Hakama and Gi, your customer service is also the best! Thank you Michelle Montpetit for the excellent service I recieved from you! Great job Tozando team!
